“Noel and Martha were absolutely wonderful! Their home is perfect for fur babies and our 7mo pup had an amazing time. He was exhausted by the end of the day after all the fun and play. They kept us updated throughout the day and sent plenty of photos showing him playing, eating, and relaxing. It was such a blessing to have peace of mind knowing he was being taken care of and enjoying himself at that. We highly recommend and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Sean & Jill were amazing! My dog Mia had a wonderful time at their place with their two dogs! After meeting them I knew she would be well cared for and safe! I highly recommend them!!!”
“Jennifer is a sweetheart. She brought Lola right outside when I pulled up. She gave me photos and videos. My dog was so tired when I picked her up I can tell she had a great time cause when Jennifer turned around to leave Lola tried to follow her 😂 I will definitely use her again!”
“Dyan does great with our pup Flynn! From the picture updates he looks very comfortable and having a good time. I know he is in good hands and will be getting plenty of his energy out walking and playing. We are excited to use her for our long vacation coming up!”
About: I have always loved dogs. I have one dog at the moment and dog sitting fulfills my need for a second dog. I recently lost my first dog, Peekaboo the Cockapoo, and have been heart broken ever since. I do have an amazing dog Moose (3y/o 40# all American brown dog mix) and I don’t want her to ever feel lonely so hosting dogs or going to walk other dogs has been a great way for her to get personalized one on one attention! I love my dogs so much they bring me so much joy we love to take walks around my beautiful neighborhood 3 to 4 times a day we have space to play and beds to lay on and take naps in the sun, we look forward to getting the chance to meet you all soon ! I work full-time from home with a digital marketing career. I am able to monitor my animals all day. Every day we go for 3 to 4 walks around my mile and a quarter neighborhood block. I have tons of space for your dog to be crated or to nap on their bed or to nap on my bed I am very attentive to my animals needs. I typically know that if an animal is out of sight, then they must be getting into some thing so if I see that they don’t want to be near me, we go for a walk I’m always available for a pet or a cuddle in between my business calls. With the nearby trails, I am always out exploring with my animal friends
About: I provide loving, attentive pet care, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining routines, exercise, feeding schedules, individualized attention, and clear owner communication. (Bilingual) Habló español Pet care fits into my routine part-time and per diem, allowing me to dedicate quality time, flexibility, and focused attention to each pet without feeling rushed. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I keep environments clean, safe, calm, and provide regular updates to owners for peace of mind.
“Though new to Rover, Maritza was very good with our 15 yo Havanese Cisco for doggy daycare. There were two larger and younger dogs present as well. She’s working from home now, so she can take the dogs on frequent walks. She will soon have a large fenced in yard…even better! I will definitely use Maritza again, for overnights too.”
“April was amazing! Super friendly, and Mabel was exhausted and had a blast. I knew Mabel had a great time because after I picked her up she went back to April for a few more cuddles. I will definitely let Mabel stay there again!”
About: My fiancé and I are lifelong dog lovers and share our home with Maple, our friendly golden retriever. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day in a calm home environment. I trained Maple myself, and she has earned her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification. Because of this, I value structure, consistency, and good manners, and our home is best suited for well-trained adult dogs that enjoy a calm household environment. I specialize in caring for social, house-trained dogs in a low-volume setting. Unlike larger boarding environments, I typically only accept one client at a time, allowing dogs to receive individualized attention, regular outdoor breaks, daily walks, and a comfortable place to relax throughout their stay. I have experience with large breeds including golden retrievers and labs, as well as senior dogs that benefit from a quieter and more personalized environment. Cleanliness, safety, and reliability are very important to me, and I strive to make each dog feel comfortable and at home while maintaining structure and routine. Because I work from home during the week, dogs are rarely left alone and are able to follow a calm and consistent daily routine. Dogs receive regular potty breaks, outdoor time, walks, rest throughout the workday, and attentive supervision during their stay. I intentionally keep bookings low-volume so each dog receives individualized care and a quieter environment than a traditional boarding setting. My schedule is best suited for adult dogs that are comfortable settling in a home environment during the day and are accustomed to a consistent routine. Safety, consistency, and a calm environment are very important in our home. Because I only take a limited number of dogs at a time, I’m able to provide attentive supervision and maintain a structured routine throughout each stay. Dogs are always leashed outdoors since our yard is not fenced, and I prioritize slow, thoughtful introductions to help dogs feel comfortable and successful in the home. Maple is friendly and social with visiting dogs and settles quickly after introductions. To ensure a good fit for everyone, I typically accept dogs that are: • house trained • crate trained • friendly with people and other dogs • able to settle calmly indoors • on a consistent feeding schedule Dogs are welcome on furniture, can sleep in my room or in their crate, and are treated like part of the household while maintaining structure and supervision.
“I cannot recommend Triba highly enough - she is so wonderful with our dog who has separation anxiety. We’re so lucky to have found a sitter we can truly trust!”
“Lisa was the best dog sitter. She was friendly, kind, and communicative. She helped us out so last minute. She took great care of our little Hunter. This was my first time using rover and I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone. She responded to my concerned mom texts and sent pics of our pup hanging out outside. Hunter was smiling, happy, and seemed worn out after his stay with Lisa. We cannot thank her enough for all her help. Thank you so much Lisa!!!!! ?”
“Hoaran was so attentive to my pup and kept me up to date for the whole stay. She was extremely accommodating to last minute inconveniences in our travel. Kona enjoyed her stay and came home very fulfilled!! Will definitely book again!!!”

Klaudia and her crew welcomed our anxious pup for daycare and he came home happy and actually seems to a bit less reactive to other dogs after a day with Winston and Bruno! Klaudia checked in several times and sent photos, which we loved, showing Loofy getting lost of attention. We're looking forward to doing an overnight in the near future.
Noel and Martha were absolutely wonderful! Their home is perfect for fur babies and our 7mo pup had an amazing time. He was exhausted by the end of the day after all the fun and play.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Newington commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
